- In this diy episode i show you the best way of installing an oem big brake upgrade from an mk4 337 or 20th gti and mk4 1.8t gli
This upgrade is for increased rotor size for the mk3 vr6 brakes but if you have a 2.0 brake setup you get much larger pads/rotors/calipers
The modifications needed to fit these brakes are a 6.5mm spacer behind the brake caliper carrier to space it back due to the offset of the 312 rotor.
This is a fantastic upgrade for any mk3 and since i have a 1.8t swap its was a much needed upgrade
In this videoi also show how to install solid brake carrier stiffners and explain the benefit of them
Must have a minimum of 16”wheel to clear the brakes
312 mk4 Rotors 8N0615601
312 carriers (fit either side) 1J0615125
1J0615123C driver caliper
1j0615124c pass caliper (can use any 288 mk3 or mk4 caliper
Pads (312mm and 288mm rotors) 1J0698151M

I love these videos. I’m doing a mk3 1.8t engine swap and I’ve been researching doing a 312mm brake upgrade with very little info. I assumed the carrier is different and to see your videos is like you’re reading my mind. Thanks for the information.
I believe when i did the 312mm years ago i bought the mk4 dust shields
But this time i just kept the dust shields from the (vr6 mk3 brakes)
Make sure you beat them good with a hammer, took many times so they would stop rubbing the rotor
Bro I've been looking everywhere for the 312 mm brake disk, you have no idea how much headache you saved me. For some reason when I got the car the car docs said that they were Mk4 Audi tts brakes but those suckers are 320 mm. I'ma go and order me some Mk4 GLI rotors now!
Great to hear, glad i could help.
All the part numbers are in the video description as well.
I absolutely love your cars man!
All of your tips and tricks/hacks are really awesome too.
👍
@@SmithsEuro could you do some walk around videos of each of your cars?
I will, i was trying to get 1 whole video of each just haven’t had the time. In the middle of buying/selling houses so our life has been consumed with that the past 2 months.
I always use ate 57....love your videos
Thanks man plenty more to come
Sweet video, been wanting to do a brake upgrade to my MK3 TDI Golf but I want to keep my 15in wheels so I may stick to going up to the 288mm rotors (currently has 256mm)
Yea thats your best bet. And you get a much better caliper.
And in the future to go to 312 youd already have the correct calipers
Great video. Did you get the cruise control working?
I was working on it, then never got back to it.
Too much going on.
One of those, car runs fine ill get to it later.
@@SmithsEuro привет. Хоть бы электросхему круиза показал)
Thank you for the amazing video I definitely need to do this to my 98 gls….slowly adding till I have a R32 swap in it. I’m new to the VW’s as I have been a Honda/Acura fan since I was 18 years old now I’m 44 and I’m tired of fucking thieves ruining my builds so I’m a Mk3 jettas fan now! Wish to lean as much as possible especially in the wiring harness as that is my least favorite thing to do, lol! Quick question where do you recommend finding all the accessories listed for the brake swap excluding brake pads, calipers but mainly the additional items for a nice clean modification?! Thank you!
Appreciate it
If you cant find good used mk4 gli/20th calipers/carriers
Then you can buy mk1 audi TT 225 front brake parts.
Its the same as the gli/20th but not painted red
A question ! How many inches is the 5x100 vr6 suspension wider than an original 4x100?
Not much maybe .75-1” per side
Wheels on the mk3 16s or 15s?
Waiting on that 3.6 swap bro 🙏.
They are old school esm 16x7.5 had them for about 8 years and bought them used. Lots of miles, ive cracked them and rewelded them a few times lol
Im in the middle of buying a house, hopefully ill be able to do the 3.6 there, unfortunately itll be a bit so ill have some more updates on the 3.6 its self before the swap begins
I plan on doing the same brake setup on my 98 mk3 gti vr6. What stainless steel front lines would work since I am using all mk4 calipers and the car is a mk3. I know there are two different banjo bolts for the mk3 and mk4.
If you have a vr you already have correct lines they are the exact same caliper just one is painted red.
Only difference is the carrier.
Mk3 vr6 front lines (mk4 ones work but are a tad long)
Cheap way for mk4 rear calipers are to buy b5 passat rear lines work perfect 8$ compared to the 65$ “swap lines”
@@SmithsEuro Ok because I just bought the mk4 calipers for the 312mm setup the anniversary ones because I thought you needed the mk4 caliper to work with the mk4 rotors on a 98 vr. I saw on vortex that the mk3 vr front lines work but you need the banjo bolt from the mk4 312mm in order for it to work because the threads are different
They are the same
Caliper is just red thats all.
I used my same mk3 bolts/lines on the gli/20th red caliper
I noticed you’re using non abs master cylinder. Is there any significant difference between not having abs for this size brake and caliper?
Mk3 non abs masters work fine, i dont know the exact size or if there are any differences.
Ive never had a worry while driving about braking.
I also have rear disks in the back.
@@SmithsEuro ok. You’re conversion is quite similar to mine. I’m yet to fit up my front brake hoses but I converted from 8v brake setup to 288 front rotor and drum to disc rear brakes.
Yup, it should work well.
where you gett the brass sleeves you swap out from rubber on the carrier :)

@@SmithsEuro does this stiffening is realy must have for the build
Nope, id actually recommend against them.
Too much noise.
I honestly think the benefit of them outweighs the annoyance of daily driving with them.
@@SmithsEuro and as for the caliper sliders, they are the same as with the vr6
You mean the carriers? They are special to gli/20th 1.8t and audi TT225
If you mean the tyrol stiffner parts they fit all de style brakes mk3-mk4 and TT
Es lo lo mismo si el frenado fuera de Passat cc ???????????
Have to be the parts and part numbers from the description. And this is only on the mk3 b3 b4 passat and corrado
No air filter?
No filter. Vw mafs have the “honeycombs” screen keeps big stuff out.
Ive had no filter on the 1.8t swap for almost a year now.
My vr6 hasnt had an air filter for 7 years.
